Certified Installation Guidelines

Certified Installers have agreed to adhere to the AMTC installation rates shown in this document. Installers referred by AMTC must possess adequate insurance coverage, have good references, and maintain proper permits and equipment. Occasionally, circumstances will require deviation from these suggested rates due to permits and licensing fees, unusual site conditions, excessive travel time to reach your location, higher prevailing labor rates for certain metropolitan areas, etc. If this is the case, the installer must disclose, and you must agree to, any additional charges before work is scheduled or commenced. In the event that an on-site survey is required to determine such additional charges, the installer must disclose, and you must agree to the charge, if any, for such on-site survey. AMTC recommends that in all cases, you get an estimate or quote in writing before allowing an installer to commence work.

Please remember that AMTC is serving solely as a facilitator. The installer will contract with you directly, and is solely responsible for the quality of work performed. Similarly, you are solely responsible for payment for any work performed by the Installer. AMTC does not, in any way, take or mediate payment for installation of equipment. Please direct any questions regarding installation details, pricing, etc. directly to the installer.

Trip and Travel Charges

AMTC uses Google Maps and Microsoft Streets & Trips to determine travel time between an installer’s base location and a job site. If travel time is 30 minutes or less, we consider the job site to be within the installer's 'home territory' and no travel time or trip charges shall be charged. For job sites more than 30 minutes away from the installer’s base location, travel time/trip charges may be charged in an amount not to exceed $20.00 per 15 minutes of travel time, or portion thereof, in excess of thirty minutes.
